Bob,

From my use of the OCI routines in Ada (a thin binding to the 
C language versions) I have found that the OCI's rely heavily
on all sorts of pointers to memory. The Cursor data structure
alone uses pointers to tons of stuff. My guess is that
your shared memory and the memopry that the OCI is using 
are in conflict. I would try stepping into the oci calls that setup
before your fetch. Parse, etc.
